    Logging ALL of the Contact Information:

    It's a good practice to log all pertinent information with your
    contacts, and ensure that information is also included when
    uploading to Logbook Of The World (LOTW). Many HF operators
    collect counties, while VHF/UHF operators are interested in
    grid squares.

    When uploading logged contacts to LOTW, please make sure that
    this information is included with each contact, or make sure
    that your LOTW information includes your grid and county, and
    that it's accurate for each contact.

    If you've already uploaded contacts to LOTW with incorrect
    information, you can correct it, and upload those contacts
    again.
